He is using a light, small one-man machine. Chamberlin made a sensational start, taking off from a tree-lined street without stopping the motor-car traffic. Wheeling his plane out from the factory Into the street, he waited for a gap in the traffic and then slipped in. A hundred feet later he left the pavement. Wishing to return for readjustments, he once more picked a gap in the traffic and landed among the motorcars. He made the repairs by the roadside and ascended again, amid the cheers of a great crowd.—A. and N.Z.
